Wow. I thought people *loved* Daybreaker & thought she was awesome. 

Agreed. I was hoping for a good battle too.

nevertheless, even though I’m supporting my team, I have to  give my vote for daybreaker and nightmare rarity. Because Daybreaker is stronger than nightmares moon by a long shot. And without the elements of harmony, princess Celestia will have a tough time defeating the two in that stage.(minus the part her power is combined with twilight’s)

Celestia seemingly didn't think she could defeat NMM without the elements either. Keep in mind though, NMM is still half Luna. Some part of her was probably holding back. NMM's biggest problem isn't power, its underestimating opponents.

When light and dark work against evil it has no hope of victory. 

 

[Denim&Venöm 18,938]

Even against hopeless odds, we stay loyal to our team mate. The last remnant of TCK. 

 

If it were any other team, we may have voted differently.

But team moon? Oh team moon... 

It could've been anypony else. Any other team would've had our support. 

But it had to be you. The team that sacrificed the element of laughter. Destroyed Sin City United. Prevented our fated duel with The Wonderbolts Academy. Sent many a friend away to oblivion in Trottingam. Shattered the final hope that lie in Ponyville and preventing history from being made by having our first back to back World Cup Champion. 

To be honest, both teams have earned our ire. So we'll vote accordingly round per round. 

After all we've been through, all we've suffered, every atrocity committed here, especially the ones by our own hooves, it brings about the question.

Do any of us deserve to win? 

 

[Jeric 46,851]

Well that was easy. The next round will be tomorrow morning. I have some class related things that I want to attend to tonight. 

 

Hm. I wonder where’s Fluttershy?

Loyal? Loyal to the team that CAUSED all the strife? Loyal to the ones that incited the whole dang thing?

That's not loyalty. Thats blind devotion. You are loyal to the puppet masters, not to your so called ally.

You speak as though Team Moon is the one who instigated the whole course of events. So you throw your support behind the REAL enemy who has taken your friends. Instead look to the one who has been fighting and trying to SAVE as many as they can. Save the best warriors, so you can overcome your foes. Instead, claim that we "Sacrifice" someone. NO! We made a choice. And we will NOT regret out choice.

Ally huh? An ally that destroyed a team we built from the ground up. An ally that sent our friends to oblivion. An ally that ended swaths of lives and never looked back. Showed not one ounce of remorse. Do we really want creatures like that having the power to rewrite the universe? Do we really know our world cup winners? After all, this tournament has shown the true nature of many a pony.

Tambleon didn't send eight teams worth of valiant warriors and all the cities they represented to oblivion. Team moon did. Your team played Tambleon's game. Or rather, Tambleon played you. You've done their dirty work for them. You've made it that much easier for them to rend reality. At this point I wonder if they can even be trusted. What if Moon wins and things aren't back to normal? What if the damage lasts? Can they live with the guilt then, just as we have after every shallow victory? 

Yes, you made your choice. And it'll say a lot about fate's character as a mistress if the reward for that is victory.

Once more, you blame Team Moon as the instigator. We didn't start this fight. But we will darn sure end it.

And you think Tambelon winning will set things straight? I wish I had your short sightedness. Than maybe I could understand why you want to send EVERYONE right to Oblivion.

And don't act like this is all nobility.

THAT is pettniess. Plain and simple.

I'm not going to bite my tongue and sugarcoat this anymore.

Your just butthurt because your team lost. Other people accepted defeat with grace, you instead insist on supporting the enemy of EVERYONE.over your fragile ego being wounded.

Your petty rage and fragile wounded ego have driven you to support someone who is clearly NO LONGER YOUR ALLY, just because you don't want the team that beat yours to win. Who is the real monster? Those who have a loyal following and the skills to win? Or those who throw their support behind the ones who STARTED the war, and made us all into enemies. Who is the real evil here? Can you look in the mirror and say, "I am doing this for the sake of all" or is it, "I am doing this out of spite, for the sake of my anger."

Tambelon took a major L

[Goat-kun 2,527]

Nothing like a little phantasmagoria to put things into perspective. I wonder if you brave warriors of Harmony shall act like this in every battle? Please do. Though, this so-called darkness also leaves a lot to be desired. Now who will be the first one to say "No U"? Bet your bits while you still can!

It comes of no surprise that Tambelon should fall easily, again.

 

@Jeric Can we have the team names in syllables after the players duo? Took me a short while to confirm who belongs to which team.

It’s good vs evil basically. Moon vs Tambelon. At this point I can be lax about that sort of stuff cause it’s just fun RP hijinks with a slight interactive flair.

Nope. This is a loose/ loose scenario. The team that started the atrocities vs. the team that furthered them.

Everypony I know is already in oblivion. Every friend and almost every enemy. The actions we've all taken during this world cup make me question if any of us deserve to come back. 

I see that you've never held a fallen member from the opposing team, or even one of your own. Feel as their body grows cold. Look into their eyes for the last time as they crumble away to nothingness. Realize, that was a living, breathing creature with it's own hopes and dreams, no different then you. And that you played a monsters game to help destroy them.

That, was one of the last reasons we had to hold onto hope. Our last once of optimism. A worthwhile reason to keep charging forward. That something could be gleamed from all this. 

But what would you know? You were a pawn in all this, just like the rest of us.

Implying Team Moon were ever our allies. The only allies we had were on our teams. And they're all gone. Everyone else is an adversary. I'm not going to be a bandwagon jumper and become cheerleader to the last team left in the universe. Every other team was the enemy. Moon winning the cup doesn't change that. We're not gonna go "Hey congrats on destroying everypony we ever loved! Good luck against the echelon of evil! Woo woo moon!" 

Don't assume we're 100% backing Tambleon. We hate both teams. We're just letting this determine who we despise more. 

And you expect us to continue this crusade? What's in it for us? Apparently all this will just be a bad dream? Well dreams have a habit of haunting even the waking hours. Is that what we have to look forward to? A life time of seeing yourself destroying pony after pony. City after city. And knowing that at the end it was all for nothing cause you weren't good enough to get the job done? 

This was more than just a game. And we still lost. You don't just get over that.

HA! If you asctually motive i follow NO team. i am not actually aligned with any group. In fact, I am more of a Chaotic Neutral, in all of this. I just follow the team that I think has the best chance of winning, and the most likely you turn things straight.

Or do you not trust in your Princesses anymore? Nor the powers on Honesty and Kindness. Remember, against Team Mon, you are also against them. Oh yeah, you really know what you're doing.

And you hate the Team that holds both Honesty and Kindness. You side with PURE EVIL. The ones who started it all. I ask again, Who is the real Monster here?

then we're not so different, you and i. I'm not on anypony's side anymore either.

We hate what they've become. We hate what we've become even more. And to play goat's advocate, are they pure evil? Grogar is just trying to bring back his realm. Yes, it's at the expense of ours, but we're willing to sacrifice the return of Tambleon to keep ours, just as he is willing to sacrifice ours to get his. 

Not so black and white when you take a step back. This isn't good vs. evil. This is just a fight for survival, and survival is a pretty amoral concept.

I NEVER war on any side. Thats the point of Chaotic NEUTRAL. I do what suits me best, for my current goals. And right now, my goal is survival.. But as y7ou said......

True. But you seems to think that Tambelon is your best  hope? the one who has PROMISED destruction and death? Supporting them seems counterproductive to survivall. Unless you have NO siense of self preservation.

Which leads back to you being petty, with a fragil wounded ego, just doing this to SPITE the team that beat yours. 

You place your EGO above self preservation.

[Janicethelight 108]

Now. Now.  Let's show all the ponies that we will show every pony our support by going against the team that hirt so many ponies we love.

 

With that said:

 

In Tambelon, tue Doctor was putting his own plans into action with Tempest and Derpy, getting every pony he could out of any cages he saw in Tambelon with his trusty sonic.  "It's almost time, every pony, but I have a feeling Grogar won't give up our land or us this easily.  We all need to be ready." 

DJ nodded silently.  She held tight to Octavia, glad to be able to hold her.  Rarity gave everypony a small rock flower.  It wasn't much, but given what she had to work with, it ment the world.  Lyra and Bon Bon went througj a breifcase they had tucked away.  Scitwi looked through her own backpack for anything she could use.  Rainbow Dash flew around, looking for any stragglers.  They needed all the help they could get if Grogar didn't hold up his side of the bargin.

[Denim&Venöm 18,938]

Just now, Michel The Shade said:

But you seems to think that Tambelon is your best  hope?

It's not. Just saying there is no hope for us, regardless of who wins. It's either oblivion or living with the guilt and the shame. Neither is very preferable, but those are the cards we've been dealt. 

But you have yet to convince us why Team Moon is the best hope. What do we get with their victory? 

And don't say back to normal. There is no going back to normal after all this.

Guilt is the same as death?

Truly NO sense of self preservation. Also no urge for penance? To make up for the wrongs you have comitted?

And would you rather be with NO light? Of either the Sun or Moon? No Honesty or Kindness?

Team Moon beings HOPE of survival, Tambelon brings assurance of Death and Destruction?

Would you rather be without ANY hope? If you wish to die, than so be it. It won't affect me. But don't try to force the rest of us to join you in a hopeless abyss. If you are ready to just lie down and die, and let destruction come, don't try to force the rest of us to lie with you.

EDIT: As BornAgainBrony pointed out. The Pillar of Hope. Your side with Tambelon, you literally are siding AGAINST Hiope.

There never seems to be a going back to normal after a war.  The ponies will indeed remember this day.  They will understand what theu went through and have to live with that knowledge.

 

But that's just it.  They will live through it, and keep going.  Thats what life it.  There are times when you loose joy and laughter.  It seems like its gone from your life forever.  However, with the help of honest friends who share their kindness with you day and night through your dark and nightmare inducing points of your life, you start to gain hope.  

 

Much like real life.  Chaos can be good and bad.  It can help you or hurt you when you least expect it.  However, what it always does is changes things: for better or worse.  And what starts out as scary or confusing, or painful can eventually lead to moments of joy. 

 

As a great painter once said, "Gotta have opposites dark and light, light and dark...it's like in life.  Gotta have a little sadness once in a while so you know when the good times come."

*sign. As being a member of Team Moon, I feel how Saitama feels.

 

I was hoping for a good battles, that's way instead on voting just because it's my team but because if I feel which is stronger than other.
